Coq au vin, literally translated, is rooster in wine. But the coq au vin served in restaurants is usually not rooster but chicken, a more readily available and tender bird. Were roosters ever used in coq au vin? According to culinary legend, when Julius Caesar invaded Gaul, a Gallic chieftain sent a cockerel to Caesar. In a show of disdain, the Roman general had the cockerel cooked in wine and sent back. The humblest, and likely most accurate explanation is that the dish was developed by European farmers who needed to find a way to use the roosters which were in more abundant supply than was necessary for the continued procreation of poultry.
